ARLINGTON - Arlington Lamar did its part Friday to set up a District 4-6A championship showdown.

Two second-quarter interceptions helped Arlington Lamar break away from Arlington Bowie 49-14 to set up a district title battle with Arlington High next week.

No. 6 Arlington High defeated Arlington Sam Houston 45-16 on Thursday. Lamar and Arlington High will play at 7 p.m. next Thursday at UT-Arlington's Maverick Stadium.

With the win, Lamar, No. 13 in SportsDay's 6A area rankings, clinched a playoff berth and improved to 9-0. No. 16 Bowie, which came in with an outside chance of a share of the district title, fell to 6-3 but has also clinched a playoff berth.

The two teams traded touchdowns in the game's first 14 minutes before the turnovers turned the momentum Lamar's way for good.

"They gave us opportunities," Lamar coach Laban DeLay of Bowie's interceptions. "They put the ball in the air, and our back end, our defensive backs did a good job of staying over the top and had really good breaks on the ball."

Lamar defensive back Deshawn Gaddie intercepted Bowie quarterback Malcolm Mays and raced untouched for a 56-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

On Bowie's next series, Lamar defensive back Jordan Polk also intercepted Mays and returned the ball to the Bowie 46.

Lamar quarterback Jack Dawson then completed passes to Gaddie and Isaiah Neyor and scored on a 1-yard run to cap a six-play drive.

Those scores led to a 28-14 halftime lead. Lamar added three more touchdowns in the second half.

"We had two bad plays and both of them were touchdowns," Bowie coach Danny DeArman. "You take those out and it's a tie ball game in the first half."

In the second half, Dawson ran for another touchdown and hit Neyor on a 30-yard scoring pass - his 30th touchdown pass of the season. In the first quarter, Dawson and Neyor also connected on a 43-yard scoring pass.
